I owned many poetry books and proceeded to go through them without having much luck, finding some that were OK, but not quite right. So I decided to write one myself- more personal and therefore more meaningful. It turned out well, so I continued writing them ever since. This book contains 175 of my best poems. Following Thoreau's lead, I write mostly Nature observations, but also Human observations too, in a journalistic style. These personal poetic essays I know mean the most to me, but many are universal enough to touch others. I hope you enjoy them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 226\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 03, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48289302446329,"sku":"9798224915194","price":24.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/tofSvRLWbZ9798224915194.webp?v=1776262973","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/a-poetic-life-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
